Electrical Question
What would be a good price to pay to an electrician for installing 2
outdoor motion activated flood lights, one on the back of the house and one on the side with the garage? the wiring would have to be run to that location, and a switch as well to control it.[would the switch be necessary?] Also, what would be a fair price to pay for installation of 6 landscaping lights in the front of the house, that are controlled by an indoor light switch? In each case i have purchased the fixtures in advance, so the estimate is basically for labor and supplies. THanks. Fish |

Could be a 1 hour job, cold be 5 hours. . |

Electrical Question
Your questions should be:
1) "How can I find a good electrician that will do a quality job and show up at the scheduled time?" 2) "If something is broken when he takes it out of the box, or doesn't work, should I pay him to stand around while I go to the store to exchange it, or should I just pay him to go buy the brand he normally installs?" 3) "If a fixture fails in two weeks, should I pay him to come back, or just replace it myself?"
